Student Awarded Scholarship for Extraordinary Mediocrity

CHARLOTTETOWN- Tyler Alton is your regular student, spending more time on Facebook than on schoolwork and maintaining a perfect 70%. That's why Tyler has been awarded the Irving Award for Outstanding Mediocrity.

"Mr. Alton has maintained average grades since seventh grade, all of his achievements have been lackluster and he's rather dull socially." reported Gene Wheeler, president of the Mediocrity Society of Canada.

"I think they gave me some money. There wasn't, like, an award show or anything. Just, like, a box with an envelope or something, you know?" said the melancholy award recipient. 

"Tyler's normalcy has always been an important part of our family life." said Tyler's mother, Emma Alton, "We tell our kids to try until it gets too hard. That's when we let them give up. It's important to realize that you have limitations, and that sometimes those limitations lie at the top of the bell curve."

"Yeah, I guess my life isn't really exciting." commented Tyler, "I just wake up and do stuff and go back to sleep and do it again. Like, the same stuff but different days. Except there are seven. But you know what I mean."

"Tyler wasn't always normal. There was a change back in 2001." recalled Mrs. Alton. "Once we told him that Mr. Dressup had died, we knew our son had changed."
